Dr. Thomas Sowell's Greatest Fear
rushlimbaugh.com ^ | 12-10-2014 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 12/11/2014 5:04:35 AM PST by servo1969

RUSH: Oh, folks, I have got to tell you, I interviewed Dr. Thomas Sowell yesterday afternoon, after the program for the next issue of The Limbaugh Letter. Now, normally I would tease you with what he said as a means of hyping the purchase of subscriptions, but because I don't look at you people as pockets and dollar signs, I'm gonna tell you this.

I started off by asking him, "Dr. Sowell, you and I and countless others have been chronicling the deterioration of American culture, our society, and our politics, in my case, for 25 years. We just keep talking about it. At what point does any of this change?" And he said that's actually the big question.

I said, "What's your biggest fear?"

Are you ready for this?

He said his biggest fear: The Iranians get nuclear weapons and attack not Israel, but the United States.

Dr. Sowell said to me that one of his, not his only, of course, one of his biggest fears is that the Iranians would launch a nuclear attack of some kind on the United States.

And the kicker? He is convinced that if Obama is president when it happens, that he will surrender.

I expressed total shock.

And he said (paraphrasing), "What did the Japanese do? All it took was two bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. What did they do? If we wake up one day and Chicago and New York are gone, if we wake up one day and Dallas and Los Angeles are gone..."

The shock of that, I had to come back to it probably 20 minutes later in the interview to ask him about it, if it's something that he really believes. He's dead serious. He's 85 years old now and he doesn't sound a day over 50, if that.

When you’re opinions go against the herd, that’s bound to happen.

Dr. Sowell’s kicker (that if Iran nuked a US city whileTraitorobama is president, he would surrender to Iran) has its own kicker - that Boehner, McConnell, and the majority of the Republican-controlled Congress would go along with the surrender.

They’ve been working on a bomb for decades, and they still haven’t figured it out, FWIW. I don’t buy they would attack us. Seems an unfounded fear.

I’m not sure about surrender. How about blaming Israel and counterattacking with a dozen nukes?

If Iran attacks, they will be supply-limited. They’ll be able to field three or four, but not a dozen because someone would take them out. They can’t attack USA and Israel. So they attack two US cities and have one left, we blame Israel and counterattack, Iran uses one more nuke on us, THEN we surrender (to the UN) with deep apologies to everyone.

What does surrender to Iran mean? They get to hang homosexuals and stone adulterous women starting in LA and NY? The ebt cards stop working 5 times a day during prayer calls?

The only response to Muslims nuking US cities should be the nuking of every Muslim country as well as the tearing down of every single mosque, the ripping off of every burkha/chador/abbaya etc.

It is part of the new world order socialist waterfowl management. Too many whites so they can be mugged. Reparation means open season for blacks on the rest of America. And now we go along with Bin Laden saying muslims need to get even by killing 5 milliis of us.

Who gave him this people management language in the first place? Agenda21?

Iran nukes two US cities. Israel expends a dozen nukes on Iran, with cobalt jackets, rather than allow Obama to surrender.

Well, the silver lining is that like Hirohito, he would be forced to go before the microphones and admit that he’s not actually God.

I think Israel would unleash a Full Metal Jacket on Obama before things ever got to this point.
